Yessir! And it's even more satisfying when your ancestors were the ones who delivered that L (my great great great grandpa)

I'd say the average person just doesn't want to deal with politics. Instead, they choose the easy way out and vote one or a small group of authoritarians to rule the whole system. Plus, authoritarians have historically been equated to social stability and security. Can't have violent political demonstrations or "problematic speech" under people like Putin or Kim Jung-un; everything is "politically correct." And once the authoritarians are in power, the people have no say or power anymore, and at the very least the people FEEL powerless against the government, and again choose the easy way out by keeping their head down and refusing to instigate a fight against the government force that would easily and brutally overpower them.

Plus, the authoritarian governments are quick to blame their enemies for the problems of the people, utilizing propaganda, and the people are either obediently putting their trust jn their government (many people in every nation, both liberal and authoritarian, tend to trust the "credible source" that is their government), or the people stay quiet to avoid becoming an enemy of the state. I could go on, but I think I'll just say I digress right here. Feel free to chip in and let me know what y'all think! :)

Darn straight. To the victor goes the spoils. Especially when the loser was a such a problematic state (i.e. a nation built on slavery and led by a racist white minority that acted as an aristocracy)

Untrue! It makes for a great battle trophy for us Yankees! "And this, Cletus, was the last thing your great x3 grandfather carried into battle when my great x4 grandfather cut his traitor ass down"
